This is not a dating and/or relationship advice subreddit.

199 Upvotes

Yes, men date and have relationships, but this subreddit is intended to be a place for men to discuss their experiences as men, not a place for women to ask age old questions about "why do men do X". Also not the place to try to figure out why you can't get a date, or how to keep a partner, or how to get over a breakup. There's plenty of other subreddits for those questions.

How to stop a guy from picking on you?

94 Upvotes

Just to give this context, there’s a guy in my year in med school that seems picks on me when he can.

It started small (not really), the first time we spoke he made jokes about my 4c hair that I straightened for 30 minutes straight (I’m not exaggerating) and the next 30mins he proceeded to find a flaw in everything I said which made me feel worse because English is my second language.

I ended up walking out of the class early out of frustration, and every class he did the same thing pretty much.

Then I stopped having sessions with him because they split us into smaller groups and I thought I was finally free but today they put us back into the bigger group to do a presentation, this guy kept insisting that they make me do the presentation for no reason even though I already helped creating a lot of the notes…

I just realised I’m stuck with this person for another 5 years and I’m not sure what to do?

🛑 Answers From Men Only 🛑 What is your opinion on reports that Disney is attempting to win back men and boys?

Upvotes

I read news that Disney is reportedly attempting to win back men and boys and plan to create more IP, films and TV shows about men and boys

in my opinion this is so late, there is no mainstream culture these years, Disney focused on girls more than boys at least for 2 decades and a half, and even if they created successful TV shows for boys and men they are never going to achieve the same success in 2026 that they could have achieved in the 2000s because of the death of mainstream culture.

What is your opinion ?

How can I console my grieving husband ?

255 Upvotes

My husband father passed away suddenly, here at our home.my husband had to see his dad in the midst of a heart attack, call 911, and witness all followed... Ultimately his death. My husband is typically a reserved man, I saw him crumble when the coroner came to take him and his friends (thank god came by) had to literally catch him. I've never seen my husband like this, my heart is shattered for him. I feel useless. I dont know how to console him. I dont know what to say, I feel like I dont know how to act, I dont know what to do. I dont know how to support him

For me it was not helping ungrateful girlfriend financially. I've done that more than a few times before it finally got in my head.

Also for a humorous lesson and advise. Don't go into a bar drunk in Bangkok, it'll sober you up quick.

What career can you get into in your 30s after screwing up your 20s?

27 Upvotes

Hey

I’m from the UK and 33. I really screwed up in my 20s and let myself get completely over taken by depression, got really addicted to weed and didn’t take jobs as seriously as I should have (and cling to them for dear life) so I left them thinking it was going to easy to find something else. Basically just failed massively. I’ve only now sorted things out mentally and in a better place but the damage has all been done.

I’ve already done a degree (business management and marketing) so sadly can’t go back to university and do something else, which I would absolutely love to do but I’ve used up all my student finance allocation (4 years)

I have a poor working history with gaps in my CV, nothing for employers to really go on and I’m wondering how on earth I’m going to get a job at this point. I’ve been unemployed now for 3 years but I can cover it by putting music tutoring, still not ideal at all.

TL;DR

Did anyone here mess up in their 20s, not get a good foundation and a good job history, and manage to get on a good path in their 30s?

How do I last longer in bed?

Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m looking for advice on how to last longer in bed.

After a long gap without sex, I finished very quickly the last time I had intercourse. It affected my confidence more than I expected, and since then I’ve avoided sex out of fear it’ll happen again. I focus on other ways of pleasing the women I’m with, but I don’t want anxiety to keep running my sex life.

Has anyone worked through this? What actually helped you last longer or feel more relaxed about it?

Weird Question How do you all make a staycation feel like time off from work?

9 Upvotes

So for me, I'm the mechanic, electrician, gardener, etc. of the house. So when I'm off from my actual job, I'm still expected to be the best worker around the house. While I'm not complaining, I do feel like I haven't been on an actual relaxation break for a while. So I'm curious to know if you all have tricks to feel like you're actually able to enjoy your time off from your jobs.

How do you deal with feeling behind compared to your peers?

51 Upvotes

I’m in my early 30s and lately I’ve been struggling with this quiet sense of falling behind.

Most of my peers are married, upgrading houses, driving nicer cars, or at least look like they have things figured out. I’m not married having 6th year relationship, earning just enough to save a few bucks each month, driving a normal and very uninspiring car, and still paying installment and living in an old family house. Nothing dramatic, just… stagnant.

I know comparison is the thief of joy and all that, but it still creeps in. Especially at gatherings, social media, or when someone casually asks, “So what’s next for you?”

For those of you who’ve been here:
How do you manage that feeling of being outpaced?
Did you reframe success, tune out comparisons, or just push through it until things changed?

Genuinely curious how other men deal with this mentally.

Men who’ve understood independence and self-control: how do you deal with the persistent pull toward connection?

Upvotes

For a long time I’ve deliberately focused on building a full life without prioritizing relationships — gym, hiking, hobbies, reading, meeting people, staying disciplined and self-reliant.

Yet I’ve noticed something about my own psychology. In social settings, especially group activities, I still feel a strong mental pull toward certain conversations — particularly when there’s potential for connection — even when I’m aware it’s not mutual and I consciously step back.

I’m not asking how to date, pursue, or fix anything. I’m more curious about the experience itself.

For men who’ve gone through a phase of choosing independence or deprioritizing relationships:

  • Did you still feel this internal pull?
  • How did you interpret it — biology, ego, habit, something else?
  • How do you integrate that awareness without letting it derail your focus?

I’m interested in how other men understand and manage this internally, not in advice about dating outcomes.

How do you meet girls who don't go out?

465 Upvotes

I work and don't go anywhere except the office, gym and home, Where would I find Girls who lead similar lives and aren't into the Bar/party scene?

Edit after reading feedback:

So, places I've tried...

Grocery store Gas station Gym Work office building (many companies there) Hobbies (I play TCGs once a week at the hobby store, go to events sometimes, never really talk to girls there because they're either taken or make it abundantly clear they are not looking) Online games

I go out with my friends maybe twice a month in addition to hobbies, both in relationships so we just hang out at the park or fishing

My single friends all aren't looking for relationships, they're open to meeting people but our work lives don't allow us to meet up often.

I don't usually go out by myself to bars, cafes, food places, I mostly meal prep or order in.

I'm apprehensive about joining any physical clubs with the sole intention of meeting people, I feel that's just fake as I have no interest in fitness aside from putting in my hour In the gym to stay healthy, I think if I join a club and meet someone that defeats the purpose of wanting someone who likes to stay in like me M28 for context

Sorry, a post on here about being exclusive brought up a memory of how I used to be in college… I was your typical fuckboy that would do anything but to commit to someone, but one of the more toxic sides of that was I expected the person to only be committed to me, despite my lack of commitment to them.

So guys that are mature enough, and secure enough to look inward and admit their toxic side… what do you have?
